  • You can use "cron jobs" to run PHP scripts at particular intervals (there is no similar component built into PHP).

    Here is a tutorial:

    Most web hosting control panels (like cPanel) make it easy to create cron jobs.

    • PHP sleep() function if your interval is a matter of milliseconds, or seconds, if you're talking hours or days then yes, Chris Landrum's suggestion is best.
